The engine was renamed to Fyrox
The engine was renamed from rg3d to Fyrox. There are multiple reasons for that:
- rg3d is hard to pronounce.
- It has
3d
in it, which has become confusing after adding proper 2D support. - It is not memorable - some random letters and numbers.
The new name is not ideal too, but it is somewhat memorable, easy to pronounce, and less confusing.
# Meaning and origin
So what does the new name mean and how it was created? Originally I proposed Feox
as a new name, but a lot
of people from the community told me that is sound like it missing r
letter, so I added it, and it became
Ferox
. As with any good name it was already taken, and I decided to change a single letter and the Fyrox
was born.
After this somebody noticed, that the name is actually sounds like Fire
+ Ox
, and BillyDM
created the
logo with the "flaming bull". This is an excellent example of community work!
